I'm Carol & Jared Y., the breeder behind Young Gun Aussies located in Hempstead, TX. Our pups are home-raised with children, cats, chickens, goats and mini cows all in the yard. We put a lot of care into socializing them so they can transition easily into their new lives. We are honored to bring another member of the family into your life!
Q. & A. with Carol & Jared
Why did you start breeding?
Our first Aussies were so amazing, we invested in a great breeding pair and produced two beautiful litters that are still part of our extended family today. We had so many families requesting Aussies that were a little more "hypoallergenic" that when our Aussie pair retired, we found a stunning Poodle stud and began our journey into Doodles.
What makes your program special?
The testimonies of the families we have met along the way will speak volumes for the quality of our pups. Our dogs are loved and challenged and a special part of our family.
What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Miniature Australian Shepherd puppies are miniature size. Aussiedoodle puppies are standard size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our Toy Australian Shepherd puppies include black tri, blue merle, red merle, and red tri. Miniature Australian Shepherd puppies include blue merle, black tri, red tri, and red merle. Australian Shepherd puppies include red merle, blue merle, black tri-color, and red tri-color. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Carol and Jared were easy to work with and brought a great dog into our life. We’ve had Hugo (Loki) for two years now and he has grown up to be big, happy, and healthy
He is great around people and is always excited to play.

Carol and Jared were amazing to work with! We absolutely love our pup Mitty ( Oaks). Everyone that meets him falls in love with his demeaner and love bug ways. Carol worked with Mitty as a puppy and he is so well behaved and gentle. Mitty at 6 months is potty trained, crate trained and we he has mastered all of his commands. He is just fantastic and his stellar breeding shows! The interviews with Carol and Jared were so easy because they are just the kindest people and love what they do! Working with Good Dog made it possible to make payments on a secured platform. Everything about this was as smooth as it could be. We tell everyone that meets Mitty all about Young Gun Aussies! They are the BEST!

Carol was AMAZING from the moment I reached out to her. She shared photos and videos daily leading up to us meeting our new baby. The training our sweet little girl received from Carol before arriving at her new home was so helpful.
